Elevated pulmonary arterial elastance and right ventricular uncoupling are associated with greater mortality in advanced heart failure

To describe right ventricular-pulmonary arterial elastance coupling hemodynamic phenotypes and their frequency in patients with advanced heart failure. Further, to evaluate the association of elastance-based indices with all-cause mortality, cardiac transplantation, and left ventricular assist device therapy.
